+ | '''Sudan''', officially the '''Imperial Dominion of Sudan''', is a country of the [[British Empire]] in northeastern Africa. It is bordered by [[Egypt]] to the north, the Red Sea to the northeast, [[Eritrea]] and [[Ethiopia]] to the east, [[Kenya]] and [[Uganda]] to the southeast, [[Zaire]] and the [[Central African Republic]] to the southwest, [[Chad]] to the west and [[Libya]] to the northwest. The world's longest river, the Nile, divides the country between east and west sides. |
The people of Sudan have a long history extending from antiquity which is intertwined with the history of Egypt, with which it was united politically over several periods. Sudan was managed as a condominium of Egypt and the [[United Kingdom]] until 1938, and of Egypt and the British Empire until 1956. In 1956, Sudan petitioned to fully join the British Empire, and with the permission of Egypt it became an Imperial Dominion that year. |
